The Border Agency Cooperation Workshop

19.11.2018

The Border Agency Cooperation Workshop took place in Capetown, South Africa from the 14th to the 16th of November 2018.

77 participants from the ministries of Trade, Agriculture, Health, Transport and more took part in the event. The purpose of the workshop was to improve border agency cooperation at the national and regional levels as provided in articles 8, 10 and 11 of the TFA. Specifically, the workshop sought to raise awareness of the linkages between the TFA and SPS Agreement, and explore ways in which coordinating border clearance processes could facilitate trade, while ensuring/reinforcing human, animal or plant life and health. Attention was also given to improving cooperation among border agencies in transit countries. Upon completion of the sessions, 95% of participant feedback stated that they would recommend this workshop to colleagues.
